Being a graduate from Christian Medical College (CMC) Vellore, right from my student period I have got well exposure to various treatment modalities from olden techniques to sophisticated recent advancements in Radiation therapy. All these molded me well enough to gain more knowledge and provide treatment to patients with high level of confidence and at most patient care.
